Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now you have my blessing, go your way
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Why-o? Because
Why-o? Because
Why-o? Because
Why-o? Because
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be...
(Little pebble upon the sand)...
Here's a pretty little song that I don't know what it's called quite yet.
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
Frome where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now you have my blessing, go your way
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
Frome where I'm lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now you have my blessing, go your way
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
All our souls are deeper than you can see
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
Thank you! This next song is... is called The Tinker And The Crab... and when I sing these songs, which sing of fairy tales and sing of... fantasy lands, my whole purpose is that our children... even if there's some here, may have something more substantial than Batman or Superman or something like that. And... so that's why I love, I love writing songs like this, because a child's mind is... is a very vast thing. Restrict it and it won't grow, but let it dwell on fantasy and fairy tale and it would benefit greatly. This is a song which... I was influenced by stories by Lewis Carroll to write, and this is a story of a tinker who is a traveling man... who travels to the beach... and meets a tiny crab.

Happiness Runs (Rising Again Version)
Music and lyrics by Donovan P. Leitch
And now, for this song... is really a loosen up song, where every's gotta loosen up with, with the song, and all the men have got to sing one part on this song and all the girls have got to sing another. And all the men, if you take [...] now men, boys and men... listen to this, this is our part. Goes like this...
OK, men, once more! (giggles).
Hey! Now, listen, all the girls, listen. If you sing this song first, I'm sure we'll have the courage to sing along. Now, all the girls have got to sing this bit. The words are 'Happiness Runs', and it goes like this.
But we gotta start it really down, make a whole orchestra [...]. So, if all the girls start it first, and give us the lead... so, girls, do you remember?
